Good morning to all before, and those that follow! Happy Mother's Day to those who are celebrating. We're going to a little tea rooms for mother's day lunch, it's very pretty and the cakes are GREAT! Got a load of washing in which I'll put out on the line before we go, then got to go to Asda and get the weekly shop. Will try and get out in the garden for a couple of hours too. So, happy Sunday to all, enjoy your day!0

Good Morning all & Happy Mothers Day

Molly, hope DD isnt in as much pain today.
Lovely and sunny here at the moment. Back is killing me again
so am dosed up with painkillers and deep heat. Will try and get a Chiropractors appointment tomorrow.
No OS plans for me today :eek: more because of the back than the day :rotfl: am actually off to Kent to see my dad today as it's his birthday. OH has heated seats in his car which is very nice luckily as it'll probably be 2 hours each way.
Probably something like MCds for dinner.
Have a great day all.xx0 -
morning all:D
Well DS had his Melatonin last night at 7pm, fell asleep on my knee at 8pm and was put to bed.....he woke at 6am this morning:T.
However, I have been up since 3am with awful migraine:o
At least we know it works so will get him into a pattern.
We were having roast lamb today but had a stressful day yesterday:eek: so ended up with take away curry.....so DHs HM pizza is on todays menu....means I am not cooking today on Mothers day so thats good by me;)
DS wants to make some buns today....he wouldnt make a blue cake yesterday as it wasnt right, cakes are not that colour:p so I made coconut cake instead:D
DS talked me into buying him another sylvanian family yesterday.....he chose the beaver family...cue much chortling from DH;)
Happy mothers day to all who celebrate it.....I know DS has made me something but wont get it till DH gets up....DS has forgotten all about it by now lol0 -
Morning All,
Its a lovly sunny day here this morning, which reflects my disposition. I got up to some lovely half dead flowers from the boys and a teddy which they had recorded their voices into, saying "we love you mum!":) I am off to Aldi for my plants today as I was too exhausted after the car boot sale yesterday (rubbish day for me, hardly any shoppers and made £12 profit
sis did great though!) I have also developed a nasty rash, I wonder if I have become allergic to my soap powder, although its only on my upper chest and back and would be allover if it was that surely?
Weighed in this morning and stayed the same. OK about that as I know why, not enough meals and too many almonds as a meal replacement
Will make myself sort things this week if it kills me, I really can't afford weeks like this too often. Off to see MIL later today and will take dinner with me, enchiladas for the boys and gourgette and mushroom "pasta" for me and gran. Need to pick her up some flowers on the way there, too.
I am off upstairs as soon as I have eaten to sort out the playroom AGAIN - big DS will be using it as a bedroom by the end of the Easter holidays. We aren't going away, and I have some nice days out planned, and their rooms to decorate, I'd also like to give the downstairs loo and the bathroom a lick of paint, too.
Have a lovely day, hugs if you are sad or fed up.

Morning all
Grey and threatening rain here
Still not feeling myself but better than yesterday. Cold is finally going too. Saw my mum yesterday and gave her a card.
I had quite a good day yesterday. Cousin loved the rugby, despite the fact that it was a boring match and a draw. Though it may be because he got chips, hotdog, ice cream and pepsi from me and my brother :rotfl:. After rugby I popped home to change and went to my friend's 30th birthday party. Took the car and only planned on staying an hour. Managed to stay for 2 hours before feeling really tired so came home just before midnight. It was nice to catch up with some old friends. Only spent a tenner on both rugby and party so a cheap night out!
Todays plans include resting a bit more, doing some uni work and contemplating a food shop. Not really in the mood to tackle Tesco but I have no fresh stuff in at all now. I may just make my list and go tomorrow after work.
OS wise - MUST tackle the clean laundry mountain, it's huge
, emptied DW, need to hoover and wipe over kitchen.
Off back to bed now with cuppa and book
Have a good day all

ps Jackieg - I got one of the Rose Elliot Low GI books out of library yesterday so will try to get my head round it and see if it'll suit me x* Rainbow baby boy born 9th August 2016 *

Morning everyone, and Happy Mothers Day to those who are celebrating. My mother maintains it is silly American nonesense, and I have tried to keep the same stance with my boys. School makes this difficult though and and they rebelled last year - so I have River Cottage Everyday to read rather than money be wasted on something I don't want.
Hugs for those who are mising someone.
Quite a clear morning despite the weather forecast. I want to crack on with weeding which makes me glad I got everywhere clean yesterday. I am on a mission to fill the brown bin with green non compostable stuff, and I need to do a lot of hoeing of emerging weeds.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Morning All :hello:,
Essex - hope your back gets better soon
Molly - hope your DD feels better soon
NPM - good news about the melatonin
Happy Mother's Day to all! I got my first card yesterday sent from one of the baby clubs online from my bump
most chuffed! Have also made some progress with my niece and think she might be popping over to her mum's today :T of her own volition :eek:
Having an easy day today - yesterday was very busy so need to put my feet up. Mum is down at my sister's today, so will be having her tea made for her tomorrow when she gets back, also getting her pressies from me. She's a legend and deserves lots of fuss!
Have a lovely day all xxSometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand,
What you've been out there searching for forever is in your hands0
